WHY ADOPTING ACTION RESEARCH AS A GOAL? "[We] become reflective researchers in
situations of uncertainty, instability, uniqueness, and conflict.Donald Schön (The Reflective Practitioner. 1983, Jossey-Bass Publishers)
Built into action research is the proviso that, if as a teacher I am dissatisfied with what is already going on, I will have the confidence and resolution to attempt to change it. I will not be content with the status quo...Jean McNiff, Action Research, Principles and Practice, McNiff,1988, 52

ACTION RESEARCH… Professionalizes the work of educators
because it puts them in charge of improving their practice and their professional development.
Encourages educators to work collaboratively.
Gives educators a voice in the field, allowing them to disseminate their findings so others can learn from their experiences.
Encourages educators to rethink the ways they evaluate their work and the work of students.

ACTION RESEARCH… Provides educators with rich sources of data
that can be used to improve classrooms and can ultimately lead to school improvement.
Revitalizes educators’ professional lives because it makes work exciting, fun, interesing and rewarding.
Allows educators to develop the ability to articulate the choices they make and the methods they use, even if those methods are challenged.
Helps educators get to know students, both academically and personally.
(Hendricks, 2006:12)
